As we were about to reach my house. I saw Shawn, Maria and Michael standing Infront of the gate. Maria was freaking out like anything. I had never saw Maria ever freaked out anytime so much.
As I parked my bike, Maria came running and hugged me tightly
"Thankfully you are okay, why weren't you picking up my phone? You know I was so worried." She said.
I checked the phone
'21 missed calls from Maria'
'5 missed calls from Shawn'
"You were simply so worried Maria, I told you right? That she going to be just fine." Micheal said
"I was having a very bad feeling about this, I was sensing that you were in a very big trouble." Maria said to me softly
"What trouble?" I asked
Just before she could have rest all the people had arrived.
"Let's go to Seri's room, just all of you be quiet, our family members must be sleeping."
We all went to my room. We locked the door. Aphrodite explained the whole situation to Shawn, Micheal and Maria in brief. Shawn was not ready to believe in supernatural. Maria was shocked but probably for a different reason.
"The book contain stuff about black magic, true love and hope in life kinda stuff, I just googled." Jason said.
I removed the book to show to everyone. Everyone started looking at it.
"Dude, why didn't you remove up the brown cover out? The front cover really looked awesome." Said Jason showing me up and image of a beautiful background of the cover.
"This book was the last thing uncle Benjamin had ever gifted me so this book is too close to my heart so I thought protecting and not letting anything happen to this book." I said
" I think probably the front cover might have answer to our questions." Alan said
"No way, I'm tearing it up." I said
"Seri, please understand it's necessary." Tom said in a sweetest voice trying to make me understand stuff.
"Okay" I said and started to remove that brown color carefully. As I was removing the cover. I found another envelope in that. Everyone was as shocked as hell
"Holy shit" Shawn said
"Is this all real?" Jason said
All were shocked as hell. I was unable to understand what was happening. I had this book for so long and I never cared to even open it up.
"Whats there in that envelope?" Jared asked.
I rush to opened that envelope, fast yet carefully.
"There are two peices of paper." I said, "one of them is a letter"
"Read it" Tom said
"Okay" I said as I breathe in.
"Dear Serena
I hope, I hope you get this letter on right time not bit early not bit late. If you know about the curse book than it's a perfect time. The next paper is full of with hints, it going to be like a treasure hunts where you need to find a peice of map and join it down to find the curse book. Sorry I know it's like a game but this is only how I could keep the map safe.
Your loving uncle Benjamin"
Everyone turned pale as if they have seen a ghost.
